alter load of sawdust After doing his
business he started for home, but had
scarcely got out of town when dog
ran down to the road and at the same
time piece of paper blew against one

They had gone but short distance
when one line broke. and Frank with
.ic other turuel them into a ditch
When the wagon struck he was thrown
out on the horses heels and the wheel
ran over his shoulder. At this moment
the lines became tangled causing the
rlrses to back up and the wagon and
horses passed over him again dislocat-
ng his shoulder and causing several bad
bruises about the head and face. The
team. after backing out Of the ditch,
started along the road. but was soon
stopped without damage to the horses
or wagon. Frank recovered enough to
drive home next day. and is now seen on
aar streets looking as if he had been run

One of the features of recent social gather

At mum Der of recent receptions the number OF
people who have stormed the houses without
invitations has been large Several ladies have
spoken Of the unusual number of strangers who
have used their houses as free-lunch stations
during reception hours. At the White House
diplomatic reception the crowd was excessive,
owing to the fact that many people went
there without any invitation. The invitations
which were sent out included ladies of the
families of those invited. This part of the
invitation was construed with great lberality by
some of the invited guests One public man
brought with him eleven ladies. In the crowd
which struggled through to be presented at this
card reception was a fat colored dentist, VINO

Washington. 1t is possible that he may have
been invited to the Presidents diplomatic re-
ception, but it is hardly probable. Nearly all
of the lawyers. real estate and insurance agents
were also seen in the crowd. AS the invitations
in the main were confined to official circles, it
was very easy to pick out those who came as I'M

The closing address of the evening and the
feature of the convention up to this time was
the address of Mrs. Zerelda G. Wallace, the wife
Of ex Governor Wallace. of Indiana, and mother
Of General Lew Wallace. Her subject was,
nency of Free Institutions" The line of her
argument was irresistible, and her eloquence
and pathos perfectly bewildering. Round after
round of applause crested her as she poured cut
her words in telling effect upon the great con-
gregation before her, AID who were evidently in
perfect accord with her earnest and womanly
utterances.
During the two hours and half that the ses-
sion lasted not single person left the audience,
and more intelligent and attentive perhaps
never assembled In this city. AS Mrs. Wallace
stood-upon the platform, holding as in her hand
her hearers, she looked a verirable queen in
